Following Jesus is a PIECE of CAKE

What you will need for this singing time is: 6 paper feet (with a number on the top and a song written on the back) and something the pull the numbers 1-6 out of (a little bag or basket). Optional: little cupcakes to pass out after with a handout that says, "Following Jesus is a PIECE of CAKE!!!".

Place the 6 feet in a circle at the front of the Primary Room. Choose 6 children to come up and stand on a foot. Have a pianist start to play a song, and stop the music suddenly. Each child should be standing on a foot (like a CAKE WALK). Draw a number from a bag and who ever is standing on that foot sits down and then everyone sings the song on the back. Each song is a reminder of how we can follow our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Here are some examples of songs:
Baptism (be baptized like Jesus)
Kindness Begins With Me (be kind)
Search, Ponder, and Pray (Pray to our Heavenly Father)
Love One Another
Keep the Commandments
I Want to be a Missionary Now (teach the Gospel)

Take that number of foot out of the circle and play again! You can either keep the same children or call up completely new ones!!!
